Born out of the desire to show the rest of the world the unique designs that Peru has to offer, Hortensia is a handmade, ready-to-wear accessories line that uses only the softest alpaca wool. It's a women-owned company, with a circle of Peruvian knitters working in a fair trade environment. Fusing traditional Andean knitting and weaving techniques, the unique qualities of alpaca wool and the designer’s chic, Franco-Peruvian aesthetic, the collection comes together in a display of luxurious, wearable pieces.
